Wild Places ft. John Craigie & Shook Twins Lyrics

Now everybody's finding their own way

And days feel like years these days

And I've adjusted to the hustle

But sometimes it gets me flustered

Feel like I've been running uphill

With no time to recover

Take a breath

Slow down

Forget the rat race

Cause chances are

My obligations can wait

But there's a place that always calms me down

Beyond the shuffle of the crowds

Where the lost can be found

I've been hiking in my boots

I've been searching for some truth

I found it far beyond the blink of the city lights

I've been falling out of touch

With the world that has become

And so I stepped outside and left it all behind

Towards wild places

Out here where the creeks run free

Wild places you can find a little piece of peace

Wild places beneath the tree tops and mountain skies

Wild places where the world is allowed to thrive

Wild places where the beasts roam free and far

Wild places where the stars still pierce the dark

Wild places take me back to the place it began

Wild places to the same place where it ends

It's been a long time that I've been gone

But I'm coming home

I'm coming home

We live so close together

Yet never felt more separate

Imprisoned in our cell phones

They got us locked up in em

And no question I've been caught in the tide too

A fiend for these screens like gold for the fools

But I know what to do

To free myself from these shackles

The path less traveled takes me back

To where these thoughts can unravel

Like a river when it whispers

Like a leaf when it falls

If you listen to the stillness

You can still hear the call

I've been hiking in my boots

I've been searching for some truth

I found it far beyond the blink of the city lights

I've been falling out of touch

With the world that has become

And so I stepped outside and left it all behind

Towards wild places

Out here where the creeks run free

Wild places you can find a little piece of peace

Wild places beneath the tree tops and mountain skies

Wild places where the world is allowed to thrive

Wild places where the beasts roam free and far

Wild places where the stars still pierce the dark

Wild places take me back to the place it began

Wild places to the same place where it ends

It's been a long time that I've been gone

But I'm coming home

I'm coming home

I reckon it's out here

Surrounded by the beyond

That I have learned the most about the world

And even more about myself

Above all else it has taught me humility

I have discovered that I will never be a conqueror of mountains

Or a tamer of rivers

For I do not own this wilderness

But I can say that I will always belong to it
